Another new member over here!

Hi everyone, just stopping in to introduce myself.

I'm new to NAM and BMW minis - not long sitting in a 2010 JCW convertible now.

I also have an 1962 997 Austin Cooper, and have previous driven around in a 1976 Automatic Mini too - both of those are in the UK, but I'm in NoCal now.

Just wanted to say HI!

Here's the new John Cooper Works Convertible on the streets

Many thanks for all your warm welcomes!

I'm still deciphering the abbreviations for specs, but here is my first stab at it!

2010 JCWC, PW/B, #1/#3 (Convenience/Cold Weather/Premium), Xenon headlights, Nav, Sirius, White Turn Signals, Leather Lounge

Not the best picture in the world, but you get the idea

And BensMini - all my experience is pre-BMW so far... on the other side of the pond! Its a related, but definitely different beast.
